Great photo.

I'm a bit baffled by the "abz" in the signature though.
Abrazos (hugs) is a standard sign off in Spanish but there's no similar word in French.

Most of my French friends sign off with Bis (short for bisou - Kiss)

It's novembre.
I thought the name (?) starts Alz as the loop of the letter l rises up to join the top of the z. (I was taught to write z like that).

No idea at the moment what it means but I feel I should...will have to let the little grey cells churn away in the background  :)

I wondered if it was Alz. An abbreviation of the signatory's Christian name rather than a sentiment.
